Katag

In the graphic novel "Katag" we delve into relatable journey of self-discovery within the challenging world of high school. Rico, peculiar student, grapples with his wits in the struggles of high school. Rico is weird. He is awkward. He is "katag ug utok" scatterbrained. He tries to get through class with unconventional methods to focus. But these methods, though effective in their own unique way, aren't always appreciated by his teachers and peers. To avoid trouble and fit in, Rico resorts to masking his true self. He adopts a facade that conceals his quirks and eccentricities, making him blend ni with the crowd. It's a coping mechanism that many of us can relate to - the struggle to be ourselves in a world that often demands conformity. Along the way, he discovers a new thing that could clear his head - touch. This new discovery, though incredibly effective in helping him clear his scattered mind, feels almost too unconventional to be practical.
